1 Then they told David, saying, “Look, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are robbing the threshing floors.”
Καὶ-απηγγέλη-τῶ-Δαυιδ-λέγοντες-Ιδοὺ-οι-αλλόφυλοι-πολεμοῦσιν-εν-τῆ-Κειλα-,-καὶ-αυτοὶ-διαρπάζουσιν-,-καταπατοῦσιν-τοὺς-άλω-.-
2 Therefore David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines, and save Keilah.”
καὶ-επηρώτησεν-Δαυιδ-διὰ-τοῦ-κυρίου-λέγων-Ει-πορευθῶ-καὶ-πατάξω-τοὺς-αλλοφύλους-τούτους-;-καὶ-εῖπεν-κύριος-Πορεύου-καὶ-πατάξεις-εν-τοῖς-αλλοφύλοις-τούτοις-καὶ-σώσεις-τὴν-Κειλα-.-
3 But David’s men said to him, “Look, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
καὶ-εῖπαν-οι-άνδρες-τοῦ-Δαυιδ-πρὸς-αυτόν-Ιδοὺ-ημεῖς-ενταῦθα-εν-τῆ-Ιουδαία-φοβούμεθα-,-καὶ-πῶς-έσται-εὰν-πορευθῶμεν-εις-Κειλα-;-εις-τὰ-σκῦλα-τῶν-αλλοφύλων-εισπορευσόμεθα-.-
4 Then David inquired of the LORD once again. And the LORD answered him and said, “Arise, go down to Keilah. For I will deliver the Philistines into your hand.”
καὶ-προσέθετο-Δαυιδ-ερωτῆσαι-έτι-διὰ-τοῦ-κυρίου-,-καὶ-απεκρίθη-αυτῶ-κύριος-καὶ-εῖπεν-πρὸς-αυτόν-Ανάστηθι-καὶ-κατάβηθι-εις-Κειλα-,-ότι-εγὼ-παραδίδωμι-τοὺς-αλλοφύλους-εις-χεῖράς-σου-.-
5 And David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, struck them with a mighty blow, and took away their livestock. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
καὶ-επορεύθη-Δαυιδ-καὶ-οι-άνδρες-οι-μετ᾿-αυτοῦ-εις-Κειλα-καὶ-επολέμησεν-εν-τοῖς-αλλοφύλοις-,-καὶ-έφυγον-εκ-προσώπου-αυτοῦ-,-καὶ-απήγαγεν-τὰ-κτήνη-αυτῶν-καὶ-επάταξεν-εν-αυτοῖς-πληγὴν-μεγάλην-,-καὶ-έσωσεν-Δαυιδ-τοὺς-κατοικοῦντας-Κειλα-.-
6 Now it happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, that he went down with an ephod in his hand.
Καὶ-εγένετο-εν-τῶ-φυγεῖν-Αβιαθαρ-υιὸν-Αβιμελεχ-πρὸς-Δαυιδ-καὶ-αυτὸς-μετὰ-Δαυιδ-εις-Κειλα-κατέβη-έχων-εφουδ-εν-τῆ-χειρὶ-αυτοῦ-.-
7 And Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah. So Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars.”
καὶ-απηγγέλη-τῶ-Σαουλ-ότι-ήκει-Δαυιδ-εις-Κειλα-,-καὶ-εῖπεν-Σαουλ-Πέπρακεν-αυτὸν-ο-θεὸς-εις-χεῖράς-μου-,-ότι-αποκέκλεισται-εισελθὼν-εις-πόλιν-θυρῶν-καὶ-μοχλῶν-.-
8 Then Saul called all the people together for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.
καὶ-παρήγγειλεν-Σαουλ-παντὶ-τῶ-λαῶ-εις-πόλεμον-καταβαίνειν-εις-Κειλα-συνέχειν-τὸν-Δαυιδ-καὶ-τοὺς-άνδρας-αυτοῦ-.-
9 When David knew that Saul plotted evil against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod here.”
καὶ-έγνω-Δαυιδ-ότι-ου-παρασιωπᾶ-Σαουλ-περὶ-αυτοῦ-τὴν-κακίαν-,-καὶ-εῖπεν-Δαυιδ-πρὸς-Αβιαθαρ-τὸν-ιερέα-Προσάγαγε-τὸ-εφουδ-κυρίου-.-
10 Then David said, “O LORD God of Israel, Your servant has certainly heard that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city for my sake.
καὶ-εῖπεν-Δαυιδ-Κύριε-ο-θεὸς-Ισραηλ-,-ακούων-ακήκοεν-ο-δοῦλός-σου-ότι-ζητεῖ-Σαουλ-ελθεῖν-επὶ-Κειλα-διαφθεῖραι-τὴν-πόλιν-δι᾿-εμέ-.-
11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O LORD God of Israel, I pray, tell Your servant.” And the LORD said, “He will come down.”
ει-αποκλεισθήσεται-;-καὶ-νῦν-ει-καταβήσεται-Σαουλ-,-καθὼς-ήκουσεν-ο-δοῦλός-σου-;-κύριε-ο-θεὸς-Ισραηλ-,-απάγγειλον-τῶ-δούλω-σου-.-καὶ-εῖπεν-κύριος-Αποκλεισθήσεται-.-
12 Then David said, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?” And the LORD said, “They will deliver you.
.-
13 So David and his men, about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah and went wherever they could go. Then it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah; so he halted the expedition.
καὶ-ανέστη-Δαυιδ-καὶ-οι-άνδρες-οι-μετ᾿-αυτοῦ-ως-τετρακόσιοι-καὶ-εξῆλθον-εκ-Κειλα-καὶ-επορεύοντο-οῦ-εὰν-επορεύθησαν-·-καὶ-τῶ-Σαουλ-απηγγέλη-ότι-διασέσωται-Δαυιδ-εκ-Κειλα-,-καὶ-ανῆκεν-τοῦ-εξελθεῖν-.-
14 And David stayed in strongholds in the wilderness, and remained in the mountains in the Wilderness of Ziph. Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.
Καὶ-εκάθισεν-Δαυιδ-εν-τῆ-ερήμω-εν-Μασερεμ-εν-τοῖς-στενοῖς-καὶ-εκάθητο-εν-τῆ-ερήμω-εν-τῶ-όρει-Ζιφ-εν-τῆ-γῆ-τῆ-αυχμώδει-·-καὶ-εζήτει-αυτὸν-Σαουλ-πάσας-τὰς-ημέρας-,-καὶ-ου-παρέδωκεν-αυτὸν-κύριος-εις-τὰς-χεῖρας-αυτοῦ-.-
15 So David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. And David was in the Wilderness of Ziph in a forest.
καὶ-εῖδεν-Δαυιδ-ότι-εξέρχεται-Σαουλ-τοῦ-ζητεῖν-τὸν-Δαυιδ-·-καὶ-Δαυιδ-εν-τῶ-όρει-τῶ-αυχμώδει-εν-τῆ-Καινῆ-Ζιφ-.-
16 Then Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David in the woods and strengthened his hand in God.
καὶ-ανέστη-Ιωναθαν-υιὸς-Σαουλ-καὶ-επορεύθη-πρὸς-Δαυιδ-εις-Καινὴν-καὶ-εκραταίωσεν-τὰς-χεῖρας-αυτοῦ-εν-κυρίω-.-
17 And he said to him, “Do not fear, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you. You shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you. Even my father Saul knows that.”
καὶ-εῖπεν-πρὸς-αυτόν-Μὴ-φοβοῦ-,-ότι-ου-μὴ-εύρη-σε-η-χεὶρ-Σαουλ-τοῦ-πατρός-μου-,-καὶ-σὺ-βασιλεύσεις-επὶ-Ισραηλ-,-καὶ-εγὼ-έσομαί-σοι-εις-δεύτερον-·-καὶ-Σαουλ-ο-πατήρ-μου-οῖδεν-ούτως-.-
18 So the two of them made a covenant before the LORD. And David stayed in the woods, and Jonathan went to his own house.
καὶ-διέθεντο-αμφότεροι-διαθήκην-ενώπιον-κυρίου-.-καὶ-εκάθητο-Δαυιδ-εν-Καινῆ-,-καὶ-Ιωναθαν-απῆλθεν-εις-οῖκον-αυτοῦ-.-
19 Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding with us in strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?
Καὶ-ανέβησαν-οι-Ζιφαῖοι-εκ-τῆς-αυχμώδους-πρὸς-Σαουλ-επὶ-τὸν-βουνὸν-λέγοντες-Ουκ-ιδοὺ-Δαυιδ-κέκρυπται-παρ᾿-ημῖν-εν-Μεσσαρα-εν-τοῖς-στενοῖς-εν-τῆ-Καινῆ-εν-τῶ-βουνῶ-τοῦ-Εχελα-τοῦ-εκ-δεξιῶν-τοῦ-Ιεσσαιμουν-;-
20 Now therefore, O king, come down according to all the desire of your soul to come down; and our part shall be to deliver him into the king’s hand.”
καὶ-νῦν-πᾶν-τὸ-πρὸς-ψυχὴν-τοῦ-βασιλέως-εις-κατάβασιν-καταβαινέτω-πρὸς-ημᾶς-·-κεκλείκασιν-αυτὸν-εις-τὰς-χεῖρας-τοῦ-βασιλέως-.-
21 And Saul said, “Blessed are you of the LORD, for you have compassion on me.
καὶ-εῖπεν-αυτοῖς-Σαουλ-Ευλογημένοι-υμεῖς-τῶ-κυρίω-,-ότι-επονέσατε-περὶ-εμοῦ-·-
22 Please go and find out for sure, and see the place where his hideout is, and who has seen him there. For I am told he is very crafty.
πορεύθητε-δὴ-καὶ-ετοιμάσατε-έτι-καὶ-γνῶτε-τὸν-τόπον-αυτοῦ-,-οῦ-έσται-ο-ποὺς-αυτοῦ-,-εν-τάχει-εκεῖ-οῦ-είπατε-,-μήποτε-πανουργεύσηται-·-
23 See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides; and come back to me with certainty, and I will go with you. And it shall be, if he is in the land, that I will search for him throughout all the clans of Judah.”
καὶ-ίδετε-καὶ-γνῶτε-,-καὶ-πορευσόμεθα-μεθ᾿-υμῶν-,-καὶ-έσται-ει-έστιν-επὶ-τῆς-γῆς-,-καὶ-εξερευνήσω-αυτὸν-εν-πάσαις-χιλιάσιν-Ιουδα-.-
24 So they arose and went to Ziph before Saul. But David and his men were in the Wilderness of Maon, in the plain on the south of Jeshimon.
καὶ-ανέστησαν-οι-Ζιφαῖοι-καὶ-επορεύθησαν-έμπροσθεν-Σαουλ-·-καὶ-Δαυιδ-καὶ-οι-άνδρες-αυτοῦ-εν-τῆ-ερήμω-τῆ-Μααν-καθ᾿-εσπέραν-εκ-δεξιῶν-τοῦ-Ιεσσαιμουν-.-
25 When Saul and his men went to seek him, they told David. Therefore he went down to the rock, and stayed in the Wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued David in the Wilderness of Maon.
καὶ-επορεύθη-Σαουλ-καὶ-οι-άνδρες-αυτοῦ-ζητεῖν-αυτόν-·-καὶ-απήγγειλαν-τῶ-Δαυιδ-,-καὶ-κατέβη-εις-τὴν-πέτραν-τὴν-εν-τῆ-ερήμω-Μααν-·-καὶ-ήκουσεν-Σαουλ-καὶ-κατεδίωξεν-οπίσω-Δαυιδ-εις-τὴν-έρημον-Μααν-.-
26 Then Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. So David made haste to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men were encircling David and his men to take them.
καὶ-πορεύονται-Σαουλ-καὶ-οι-άνδρες-αυτοῦ-εκ-μέρους-τοῦ-όρους-τούτου-,-καὶ-ῆν-Δαυιδ-καὶ-οι-άνδρες-αυτοῦ-εκ-μέρους-τοῦ-όρους-τούτου-·-καὶ-ῆν-Δαυιδ-σκεπαζόμενος-πορεύεσθαι-απὸ-προσώπου-Σαουλ-,-καὶ-Σαουλ-καὶ-οι-άνδρες-αυτοῦ-παρενέβαλον-επὶ-Δαυιδ-καὶ-τοὺς-άνδρας-αυτοῦ-συλλαβεῖν-αυτούς-.-
27 But a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Hurry and come, for the Philistines have invaded the land!”
καὶ-άγγελος-πρὸς-Σαουλ-ῆλθεν-λέγων-Σπεῦδε-καὶ-δεῦρο-,-ότι-επέθεντο-οι-αλλόφυλοι-επὶ-τὴν-γῆν-.-
28 Therefore Saul returned from pursuing David, and went against the Philistines; so they called that place the Rock of Escape.
καὶ-ανέστρεψεν-Σαουλ-μὴ-καταδιώκειν-οπίσω-Δαυιδ-καὶ-επορεύθη-εις-συνάντησιν-τῶν-αλλοφύλων-·-διὰ-τοῦτο-επεκλήθη-ο-τόπος-εκεῖνος-Πέτρα-η-μερισθεῖσα-.-
29 Then David went up from there and dwelt in strongholds at En Gedi.
